Guestbook Comment

5 from austin Austin, TX
Review Submitted: September 5, 2007 Date of Stay: September 2007
The Gray Barn was a perfect place for us to stay - clean, nicely furnished, with a pleasant view and plenty of space for all 5 of us. It was a great home base allowing quick and easy access to all of Mount Desert Island's hiking, swimming, Lobster Pounds, quaint towns, boating trips, kayaking, etc. After enjoying nature all day it was a pleasure to return to the Gray Barn for evening games around the dining room table. Having on site owners knowledgeable of their area added to our fun, all the recommendations were accurate!

Perfect vacation rental

kayaking family Scituate, RI
Review Submitted: July 20, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We were so pleased with our stay at the Gray Barn. We had four adults and two teenagers and we were very comfortable. The upstairs room was wonderful for the kids so they could have some peace and quiet away from the adults. The rustic look was very attractive and it was nice to have a beautiful place to hang out on the one day that it rained. We really appreciated the use of the kayaks too! All the details were thought of. If you are looking for a trouble-free, relaxing vacation, this is it.

Great Getaway

Florida 1022 Cocoa, Fl
Review Submitted: November 11, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
We stayed at the Gray Barn for 1 week, the last week in Oct 2008. The gas fireplace kept us warm. The sunsets were more than we could have hoped for. Having the Bass Harbour Lighthouse 3 mins away was neat, we stopped their almost everyday. The Gray Barn has everything you need. We had a wonderful time at Acadia National Park.

The Best

Murry Québec, Québec, Canada
Review Submitted: November 10, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
This Maine vacation has been one of the best we have had in a long time. The Gray Barn was just right, well situated, generous accommatations and wonderful view. After a day of outdoor life we were always happy to come back "home" to the Gray Barn with its warm atmosphere, well equiped Kitchen and comfortable evenings.The quiet side of Mount Desert Island is a great getaway. Bravo Jonathan for offering a home away from home.

Great place, people, time.

Review Submitted: July 24, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
Me, my wife and our two teenage daughters had a wonderful time. We hiked, biked, kayaked, shopped, and relaxed. Acadia is one of the best national parks for variety. The Gray Barn was clean, well maintained, comfortable, and a home away from home. I found the host to be exceedingly friendly and informative. I recommend it enthusiastically and without reservation.
